Zusammenfassung:A system and method for transferring a part being machined by a machine from a first fixture to a second fixture so that an un-machined side of the part can be exposed for machining, where the first fixture is secured to a first actuator and the second fixture is secured to a second actuator. The method includes securing the part to the first fixture, operating the first actuator so that the part is able to be machined on sides of the part except a side of the part coupled to the first fixture, and machining the part while the part is secured to the first fixture. The method operates the first actuator and the second actuator so that the part secured to the first fixture is aligned with the second fixture, and secures the part to the second fixture and releases the part from the first fixture.
